Just OK - Barely January 3, 2009
PhoenixFiresky (Nebraska)
Not an absolutely awful movie. I watched the whole thing and didn't feel the desire to turn it off midway through. On the other hand, I had a lot of time to kill. It's a movie that tried to appeal to both kids and adults, and as a result is likely to really please nobody. Kids will think it's OK. Adults probably won't like it much. If I'd paid more than $0.99 to rent it, I would've been very unhappy, but at under a dollar, it was an OK time killer.
 I would rate it '0' stars if I could.... December 28, 2008

This was a terrible movie that didn't have enough (any) humor to redeem itself. It was not funny and just kept getting less and less funny. I spent valuable time writing this review because I wasted so much time watching this movie. I want to keep you from making the same mistake. Get Christmas Vacation or something else if you want a funny Christmas movie. Don't fall for the "Vince Vaughn in an apparently funny Christmas movie" trap. Save the 99 cents and watch Frosty the Snowman instead. This is my Christmas gift to you. Merry Christmas.
 Fun movie December 27, 2008

Rented this for my eleven year old, and she really enjoyed it. There was some language that I wish they had left out, but overall it looked like a fun movie for kids.
Pretty Good Flick December 26, 2008
J Sherbahn (South Carolina)
We rented this VOD on x-mas day. I don't think it is really a movie for kids...wife and I watched it...kids watxched a little of it. The movie was funny and had a decent "story-line".
The movie has a positive theme and good message and is pretty darn funny, especially if you like Vince's sense of humor...
Ingenious Family Movie! December 26, 2008

Great movie to watch with our kids (4 and 6 yrs old). Easy to follow for kids, recognizable, imaginative and funny. Lot of action and feel good scenes. My wife and I loved the ingenious story line and the jokes that relate to adults watching the movie.
